HOWTO Step-by-step Guide to build your own BlockChain site like Yehey.org

Lately accessing Steemit.com very frustrating, slow and not able to access the community. Please remember Steemit.com is not STEEM, meaning you have alternative site like Yehey.org, Busy.org or ChainBB where you can login using your steem account.

FYI. You ALWAYS login through SSL e.g. https://yehey.org this is to encrypt your session to the website that gives you access to the blockchain. I hope that’s not too technical.

From Steemit Github “Condenser is the react.js web interface to the world’s first and best blockchain-based social media platform, steemit.com. It uses STEEM, a blockchain powered by Graphene 2.0 technology to store JSON-based content for a plethora of web applications”.
You can follow the guide here: https://github.com/steemit/condenser or follow my guide, both will end good result.

Let’s begin:

Every time I prepare a server, I setup the correct time . This will be useful checking your logs later.sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

yarn run production // using port 8080, make sure your server allow it.

You should be to access your own blockchain site.
For example:http://yehey.org:8080 //8080 is a default port.

SECURITY – SECURITY – SECURITY we need to implement security at all time.

Install, let’s encrypt.
I’m not going to re-invent the wheel, I followed this guide to install my server digital certificate so I can access with SSL protocol – https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04

After you finished installing SSL on your server. You should be able to access it with SSL.
For example:
https://yehey.org // this will display the default placeholder of Apache page.
https://yehey.org:8080 // will be an error, cannot be display. This is correct we haven’t done anything yet.
http://yehey.org:8080 // you should be able to access the blockchain site (un-secure, not recommended let’s fix it.)
